Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a foam. More particularly, the invention relates to a manually operable dispensing device for dispensing a foam, which comprises a liquid pump and an air pump for pumping a foamable liquid and air, respectively.
- the liquid piston 8 and the air piston 10 will move downwards, as " a result of which the volumes in the liquid pump 4 and air pump 5, respectively, will decrease.
- the liquid pump 4 will deliver liquid and the air pump 5 will deliver air to the mixing chamber 14.
- foam will be formed which will flow through the dispensing passage 15 and the sieve element 17 in order to be dispensed through the dispensing opening 16.
- the spring force of the spring 24 is preferably greater than the frictional force which occurs between the liquid piston 8 and the liquid cylinder 7 in order to ensure that the spring 24 can only be compressed during the second part of the stroke.
- the dispensing device After the operating button 6 is released, the dispensing device will return to the rest position, as illustrated in fig. 4a.
- the transition between the first part of the stroke of the operating button 6 and the second part of the stroke is obtained by coupling the entire liquid pump to the operating button, so that the entire liquid pump moves concomitantly with the operating button during the second part of the stroke.
- liquid inlet valve as a pressure relief valve as well.
- foam will be formed and delivered during the first part of the stroke.
- air will be delivered by the air pump to the mixing chamber, while the liquid which is being pumped as a result of the space in the pump chamber of the liquid pump decreasing will flow back to the liquid container.
- FIG. 5a-5c An example of an embodiment according to the second way is shown in figs. 5a-5c, which show a part of a pump assembly 103.
- the pump assembly 103 comprises a liquid pump 104 with a liquid cylinder 107 and a liquid piston 108 and an air pump 105 with an air cylinder 109 and an air piston 110.
- the common operating button 106 When the common operating button 106 is pushed downwards during the first part Sl of the stroke of the entire stroke S, the space in the liquid pump chamber 112 and the air pump chamber 113 will decrease as a result of the pistons 108, 110 moving downwards, whereby liquid and air in the mixing chamber 114 are combined to form a foam.
- the pressure relief valve 122 which also serves as inlet valve for the liquid, operates as follows.
- the sphere 123 is located on the seat 124. When the pressure in the liquid pump chamber decreases (during the upward stroke) , the sphere 123 will be lifted off the seat 124 and liquid will be sucked into the liquid pump chamber.
- the spring element 25 it is also possible to use a bellows-like part or a part which is flexible in another way and which can be pushed in during the second part of the stroke of the operating button. It is also possible to provide the part 25 to be pushed in in the form of a part of the liquid piston 8 or the operating button, although the space in pump chamber 12 of the liquid pump 4 must be prevented from becoming smaller.
